Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
(According to these scriptures, the cross caused the end of ordinances that was against us, including the Sabbath and food restrictions.)
True! But that's Colossians 2:14; NOT verses 16 or 17. In between stands verse 15, according to which Christ triumphed in it, the cross and, Resurrection, which caused Paul to encourage the Church and assure them,
"16Don't you let yourselves be judged or condemned by anyone in eating and drinking or with regard to eating and drinking of feast, whether of month's or Sabbaths', which are but the shadow of what imminently must come for you holding to the Head."
BECAUSE:
12 While dead in your sins God who raised Christ from the dead forgave you all trespasses having quickened you together with Him. Nailing it to the cross and removing it altogether, Christ blotted out the damning law against us; and putting off and ruining the rulers and the authorities [of darkness 1:13], He publicly held them up to shame, triumphing over them in it. [If ye then be raised with Christ 3:1], THEN THEREFORE, don’t you let yourselves be judged and condemned by anyone (of the world 2:8, 20) in your eating and drinking or with regard to your eating and drinking of feast, whether of month’s or of Sabbaths’—17all which shadows forth what soon must be, the BODY OF CHRIST'S OWN!
18 Let no man not holding to the Head [but] puffed up by his fleshly mind, who conceitedly meddles in what he knows nothing about (the mystery which is Christ 1:28), with his pretentious humility and angelic worship beguile you (with enticing words 2:4) of your reward.
While holding to the Head nourishment being ministered: CHRIST BEING THE SUBSTANCE, all the Body (of Christ’s Own 1:18) by joints and bands [of faith 2:12 Hosea 11:4; peace Ephesians 4:3; and charity Colossians 3:14], and knit together (in love 2:2), will grow with the growth of God.
Since having resurrected from the dead "
on the Sabbath in fullness of day", "
Jesus having entered into his Own Rest as God in his own, He gave them Rest, so that THEREFORE A KEEPING OF SABBATH REST DAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD REMAINS."
